Bishop of the Devil

After returning to the locker room, Richard went to the toilet and took this time to think about how to change his current mental outlook!

In Richard's view, there is really no comparison between this team and the Trail Blazers!

Even with the Trail Blazers who were in their first year of coaching, they are completely incomparable...

The Trail Blazers are a lion. No matter what kind of game it is, even if it is just a preseason game, all the players on the field are as hard-working as Saburo.

The reason why this situation occurs is because the team has an iron-blooded core like Ben, who is the soul of the Trail Blazers!

There are also Predators such as Kobe. Even if some of the other players are lazy, under the leadership of these Predators, they all work hard on the court.

But right now, this Pistons lacks warriors like Ben and Kobe.

Nash is definitely the biggest player on the Pistons team right now, but the question is, does Nash have any iron-blooded temperament?

No……

There is absolutely no connection between Nash and the word iron-blooded.

It's true that he often bleeds on the field, but it's just from being beaten...

The Spurs' Robert Horry cracked his brow bone.

Parker's nose was broken when hit by the Spurs' sports car, and he was almost disfigured...

There have been many nosebleeds on the field throughout his career.

They say you have to pick the weakest persimmon, and there is no doubt that Nash is almost the weakest persimmon on the court.

Because of his importance to the team and his seemingly harmless nature, he is often the target of malicious fouls by opponents on the court.

Now the reason why Richard dares to take down Nash is that he has enough confidence to protect Nash.

Under my own hands, whoever dares to touch Nash will definitely make the other party pay the price with blood.

…

In the first half of the game, although Richard also made substitutions, he still let the team start playing most of the time.

But among the five starters, except for Nash, the performance of the other four made Richard quite dissatisfied.

Nash scored a total of 19 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the first half of the game. There is absolutely no fault with such data.

But the performance of the other four people was a bit unbearable...

Fortunately for Okur, the pick-and-roll tactics were executed fairly well, but there was some lack of coordination on the defensive end, which allowed Brad Miller to score 10 points in the first half.

What really dissatisfied Richard was Laga Bell, Gerrard and Anderson.

In Richard's view, the greatest value of these three people is defense, especially Bell and Anderson.

If they don't defend well, Richard really can't imagine what value they have to him.

In Richard's view, the defense of these three people was completely fake.

It looks pretty positive, but it's not hard enough and doesn't reflect the iron-blooded defense at all.

…

After walking out of the toilet, Richard had already thought about how to stimulate these new players.

The new players are all green.

Speak harsh words and scare them, and you can achieve good results...

But as soon as he returned to the locker room, Richard smelled the pungent smell of alcohol on the tip of his nose.

In fact, the smell of alcohol in the locker room is quite normal. Generally, if a player is injured during a game, he or she will be disinfected with medical alcohol first.

But Richard could clearly smell the smell of alcohol. It was definitely not medical alcohol, but agave?

The smell of agave is quite special, so Richard smelled it right away.

…

Does anyone dare to drink in his own locker room? !

And fucking drinking during halftime? !

Richard exploded in an instant, furious, and his whole face turned red...

Good guy, at the end of half the game, everyone knew that Richard was not in a good mood, but in this case, someone dared to commit a crime against the wind. This is definitely looking for death!

…

The locker rooms of many teams in the league are messy, filled with the smell of marijuana leaves, alcohol, and cigarettes, but this smell never appears in Richard's locker room.

Richard has always been strict with Da Ben and the others.

Richard would not allow any Trail Blazers player to touch any drugs, even marijuana. He had mentioned more than once that as long as someone touched these things, no matter who they were, they would be banned indefinitely from the team.

Even Da Ben and others are no exception!

As for things like tobacco and alcohol, Richard is also very strict. He can have a little on his days off, but of course only a little.

On training days and match days, if Richard catches him, he will also end up miserable.

…

Think about it, it is this kind of strict requirement that creates such a hard-working team as the Trail Blazers.

If everyone drinks alcohol and smokes leaves every day, then no matter how good the talent is, it will be wasted.

There are simply countless talented stars who have perished due to alcohol and drugs in history.

Among other things, there are many in the league right now. For example, Coleman, the former core post of the Philadelphia 76ers, is an absolutely talented power forward.

But even because of alcohol and drugs, he completely fell into decline. Now Coleman is not considered a bad guy in the league.

For example, Rainman Kemp could have defeated the existence of the Auburn combination. He could easily defeat the two Auburn players.

But now? Because of alcohol and drugs, this guy has fallen so far that he can't even touch the basket.

With so many negative teaching materials, it’s strange that Richard can tolerate such nonsense!

In Richard's view, this is not only responsible for the team's record, but also for the future of these players...

Richard doesn't want the players he coaches to fall because of these things in the future!

Of course, unscrupulous players like Ricky Davis are exceptions, and Richard will definitely not care about the life or death of such players.

…

After seeing Richard coming, everyone became quiet.

"I smell the smell of tequila, come on, tell me, who is so elegant?" Richard asked with a sneer.

After this question, several players immediately lowered their heads.

Richard was startled. Could it be that these people all drank during the game?

"Atkins, raise your head." Richard said coldly.

Atkins looked a little ugly and raised his head, not daring to look into Richard's eyes...

"Coach, I didn't drink..."

"not me……"

Atkins had already noticed Richard's rage.

Good guy, he is just an undrafted player. He has finally achieved some success through his own efforts. If Richard is disgusted by him, his previous efforts will be completely in vain.

So he simply distanced himself.

"Oh? Then tell me, who drank? Don't tell me, there is something wrong with my nose." Richard asked with a sneer.

Atkins was in trouble. Although he didn't drink, he knew who had.

In fact, all the Pistons veterans knew who was drinking.

But this kind of thing is essentially the same as snitching. This is the biggest taboo in the locker room.

Atkins didn't know what to say at the moment.

He didn't want Richard to dislike him, and he also didn't want people to think that he was a snitch.

"Tell me who it is!" Richard roared.

He is now completely unable to control his anger...

The team's start was not as good as Richard imagined, and now someone dared to drink during halftime.

This is provoking Richard's bottom line!

Startled by Richard's roar, the young Atkins felt a little collapsed. He lowered his head and whispered: "It's Clark..."

Richard's eyes were like knives, and he immediately stared at Zeon Clark who was hiding behind the crowd!

"Get out!" Richard yelled directly.

Clark pushed through the crowd, with a somewhat horrified expression on his face...

He was indeed drinking, but he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem just now.

In fact, George Karl also knew about this when he was with the Bucks. Later, after he came to the Pistons, the former head coach of the Pistons, George Irving, also knew about this.

But they turned a blind eye to it.

Maybe he was dissatisfied, but he didn't say much. George Karl may have sold Clark to the Magic when he was playing for the Bucks for one year because of this.

Magic head coach Doc Rivers probably later sold him to the Pistons because of this situation.

After three head coaches in three years, no one cared about Clark's drinking, and no one was as angry as Richard.

Seeing the panic on Clark's face, Richard did not speak to him, but continued to ask about Atkins.

"During his entire year with the Pistons, he drank during halftime?"

"Well..." Atkins whispered.

"A pint at every game..." Barrows added...

Richard is going crazy, what kind of weird player is this guy!

A pint of wine is consumed at each game, which is more than a pound of wine!

Richard now understood why Clark, with such powerful attributes, behaved like shit.

This guy is always drunk, so it's surprising that he can perform well!

"Did you drink like this during the two years you were with the Bucks and Magic?" Richard asked Clark coldly.

"Don't even think about lying to me, I can know the truth with just one phone call!"

…

Clark nodded in horror, he felt like he was in trouble...

Seeing Clark nodding, Richard bared his teeth and wanted to give Clark a good slap.

He now extremely regrets using the All-Star Light on this guy. He should reveal his glorious deeds to this guy who is willing to degenerate.

The reason why his other head coaches didn't reveal this matter was probably because they were afraid of affecting the trade value of this product.

If everyone knew that this guy was a prodigious drinker, drinking a pound at a time, who would dare to use such a guy.

If Richard exposes this matter, even if this guy can't fight, Richard will not be responsible at all.

If you let yourself down, who can you blame?

Not to mention that Richard is not the real God. Even if he is the real God, he cannot save people who are willing to fall.

…

As Clark nodded, Richard probably thought of a player, and now he was basically sure that Clark was the player he had in mind.

There are actually quite a few talented inside players in the history of the league, but many of them risked their own lives and their own futures.

Right now in the league, there are people like Coleman and Kemp who are trying to kill themselves, and there are two quite representative figures...

One is Larry Sanders, nicknamed the Poet. Richard is quite familiar with this player. Like many people, he secretly feels sorry for this player.

Recorded a triple-double as a substitute...

Not an ordinary triple-double, but a shot-blocking triple-double!

From this, we can see the terrible blocking ability of this guy. In the third season of his career, he averaged 27 minutes per game, but he averaged 2.8 blocks per game, ranking second in the league.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he is given more playing time, this guy will definitely be the unquestionable shot-blocking king!

But this guy may have something wrong in his mind. Instead of being a good professional player, he insists on becoming an artist, thus wasting all his talents.

A player who is more similar to the poet Sanders, or even weirder than Sanders.

Richard didn't remember his name, only that he was nicknamed "Octopus".

Now he does know the name, his name is Zeon Clark!

It's this guy in front of me who is pissing him off half to death...

Octopus's reputation comes from his powerful shot-blocking ability, and he once blocked 12 shots in a single game.

You must know that before this, the single-game shot blocking record recorded in league history was higher than that of O'Neal, Manute Bol, Bradley and Dameng.

Another person with higher blocks in a single game than him is Da Baibian, but Da Baibian has not yet appeared...

It can be said that Octopus is one of the top five shot-blockers in history.

Richard remembered that this guy once averaged more than 20 minutes per game, but was able to average 2.4 blocks per game.

The most important thing is that according to what this guy said after retiring and what his teammates said about him, this guy has never really sobered up in his entire career.

It's customary to drink a pint on match day...

He even drinks during halftime!

The reason why Richard knew that the Clark in front of him was the Octopus was actually because of the drinking at midfield.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are countless drunkards, but he is the only one who can be as insane as Clark...

…

Now Richard completely understands why this guy has strong attributes, but he can't perform well.

For a moment, Richard was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

…

Just when Richard was about to permanently ban Clark from the team this season, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

"Congratulations to host Richard for starting the series of missions "Defending the Center's Last Glory"!"

"The decline of centers is a major trend of the times. The goal of this series of tasks is to save the fire of centers so that they will not completely disappear in the tide of the times."

"Mission goal: Help Zeon Clark get rid of bad habits, successfully grow into a top blue-collar center, and win at least one shot-blocking honor, one All-Star honor, and one Best Defensive Player honor!"

"Mission reward: 3 points of celebrity points, 3 points of all attributes of the coach (including luck points), an advanced injury scroll, and the permanent prop Zeon Clark's hot pot!"

"Advanced Injury Scroll: After being used on the target player, it can eliminate all injuries of the target player within two years, return his condition to two years ago, and have a higher probability of eliminating the target player's old diseases!"

"Zeon Clark's Hot Pot: a permanent prop that can be bound once a year to any center player, giving him 100% of Clark's shot-blocking ability at his peak!"

The system prompts that came one after another made Richard a little dumbfounded.

I have started a new series of tasks...

The previous God-making missions can be considered a series of missions, but they were always initiated as primary God-making missions. At the moment, Richard still doesn’t know how to start the intermediate God-making missions.

Now with the exposure of Octopus, Richard directly started another series of tasks.

Defend the center’s final glory!

As soon as you hear the name of this task, you can tell that it must be related to the player at the center position...

It may be that the system has some special preference for center players and does not want the era of centers to wither away too soon, so it issued this task.

Of course, it is possible that similar tasks exist anywhere.

Anyway, now Richard has successfully triggered the mission.

In his opinion, he may encounter some similar tasks in the future, asking him to save some talented but failed center players.

Such as Auden the Great, such as the poet Larry Sanders.

Maybe even Kwame Brown is among those being rescued...

If it is just a task, it is not enough to calm Richard's anger.

Richard would never take the initiative to lend a helping hand to such a self-destructive player!

But the rewards from the current mission are really amazing.

Three points of celebrity points and three points of all coach attributes including luck value are quite precious.

There is also a priceless high-level injury scroll, which is simply a good thing for bringing the dead back to life. In terms of value, it is no worse than the Intact Pill.

Best of all, Clark’s hot pot!

This item makes Richard very jealous. It can bind any center player to give him the peak blocking ability of Clark!

This is definitely a priceless good thing...

Any fan who is familiar with Richard knows very well that Richard has an inexplicable preference for center players.

This is true, and it is not something fans are making up. Even Richard himself admits that he does prefer inside players compared to other positions.

Even if this Clark's hotpot is not used by Yao Ming, it is still quite powerful if it is used by other players under him!

…

After thinking for a moment, Richard felt that he had to complete this task!

The reward of this task was so attractive to Richard that it made him jealous!

But Clark's behavior made Richard quite angry...

For a moment, Richard was in a dilemma, not knowing how to start.
